The requirements for the teammachine were defined by WorldTour racing. Riders like Philippe Gilbert, Cadel Evans and Tejay van Garderen asked for a bike that combines lightweight, for the long climbs, with the very best acceleration for aggressive attacks. We listened to their needs, and suggestions, and then dug deep into our bag of engineering tricks to bring the new SLR01's performance to a whole new level. With our new ACE technology, we accelerated the normal design and engineering process by running an incredible 34,000 computer-generated prototypes. The end result is the new teammachine SLR01 offering what we like to call, "acceleration redefined."
